the contents of a grouped task is not sorted alphabetically

SUMMARY

the contents of a grouped task is not sorted alphabetically

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  set task manager settings:

  a) group: by programm name
  b) clicking grouped task: show testual list
  c) combine into single button: yes
  d) group only when the Task Manager is full
  e) sort: Alphabetically

2.  in a konsole start some terminals with variant titles, e.g.:

   xterm -T "xterm #3" &
   xterm -T "xterm #1" &
   xterm -T "xterm #2" &

OBSERVED RESULT

the buttons in the taskbar are sorted as specified in e). OK.

the buttons _inside_ the grouped-task-button "XTerm" are unsorted or sorted according to the startup order (see attached picture).

EXPECTED RESULT

the buttons _inside_ the grouped-task-button "XTerm" are should be sorted alphabetically.

maybe the task-manager-setiings should provide an addtional configuration attribute is "sort entries of grouped task buttons by":

  - start sequence
  - alphabetically

Thank you for your bug report!

Debian advises users to not submit bugs upstream (https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting), as this version of the KDE software is out of support from KDE, and so it's possible that the bug exists only in Debian at this point.

Could you report the bug to Debian using the report bug utility (https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/reportbug)? If necessary, the maintainer of the package will forward the bug upstream.

Thanks for understanding!
